Entry n0 10

Once upon on time there was a boy called Buby who was very proud and arrogant.He had plenty of money and he always used the best clothes and shoes. Buby had been grown in a beautyful house with a huge garden full of flowers and the house inside was decorated with the most exquisite frensh style. Buby's parents were always busy , they both worked all day long and when they arrived home they were too tired so they hardly had time to play with Buby or to talk to hiim. Fortunately, Buby was always surrounded of people who worked in the house, but the most friendly was his nurse Clarisse. Clarisse was the person who spent more time with him and she was very nice, but she was quite old and Buby really needed people from his own age to play with.Whenever he tried to talk about this with his parents they were too busy and didn't listen to him.
One day, in the middle of a dinner Buby jumped on the table to get his parent's attention and told them in a very loud voice: I want to go to school!!! They looked each other and said:ok Buby, you'll go to school tomorrow. Buby was so happy to hear that , that he couldn't sleep all night. So next day he put on his best clothes ans shoes and Clarisse took him to school. At school some children tried to be nice with him but Buby was so proud that the children run away from him. Buby didn´t undestand why he couldn't make any friend and this made him feel very sad. When Buby returned home he felt so sad that he din't want to eat, so Clarisse said to him :` Why are you so sad?´and Buby replied :` I couldn't make any friend at school, they run away from me´`What´s wrong with me? I told them abaut all the toys i have and abaut the six computers and the swimming pools and all the things i have and despite this they run away. Maybe i should have told them abaut the great birthday parties i have every year´ So Clarisse looked at him and said : 'You don´t need to have all those things to make friends, just try to be nice and forget abaut all material things'. Buby : 'But my parents are all day talking abaut money and they have plenty of friends' 'They say that money is the most important thing and that with it you can have whatever you want and what i want are friends' .Clarisse laught and told him : ' Money can´t buy happiness or friendship because those things are priceless'
The following day Buby forgot abaut material things and made a lot of friends , he returned home very happy and realised that he didn´t need money to be happy. His parents continued working very hard and making more money while his son enjoyed of his friends. Buby thought that one day his parents would realise that they could be happy without material things.
